Rockies All-Star shortstop Troy Tulowitzki has agreed to a $134 million contract extension that locks him up with the team through at least 2020, according to sources.

The Denver Post first reported that the deal was for $134 million over seven seasons.

All told, the deal is worth $157.75 million in guaranteed money over the next 10 years, sources said.

Tulowitzki is already under contract from 2011 through 2013, and those terms hold. He'll earn $5.5 million in 2011, $8.25 million in 2012 and $10 million in 2013.

But under the extension, his salary will jump substantially, to $16 million in 2014 and $20 million yearly from 2015 through 2019. He will have a $14 million base salary in 2020, which could increase by as much as $6 million in escalators based on his 2019 performance -- for example, if he makes the All-Star team or wins a Gold Glove.

The team has a $14 million option for 2021, with a $4 million buyout. That option year also includes the same escalator pakage as in 2020.

Downloaded the app today after my coworkers told me about it. Seems fun and apparently it's never been done. Free to play. Maybe this will get me more interested in watching baseball.
